Where could IntellijIDEA cache maven dependencies?

java maven intellij-idea intellij-14

For some of my modules Intellij IDEA is not importing the dependencies and plugins. Just the live cycle is imported.

Maven Projects

The poms are valid as I compile on the command line. I have deleted the modules and reimported them. I deleted the project them and re-imported it.

So I wonder if there is some secret cache where Intellij IDEA informations on modules even after they are deleted.

Or if there is any other reason why Intellij IDEA might not be able to import dependencies and plugins.

UPDATE:

Found this interesting error message:

I don't use apache commons. Must be an Intellij IDEA problem. Maybe it is time for a bug report.

...\home\.IntelliJIdea14\system\Maven - cache for maven artifacts, you can probably delete it.

Module and project informations are stored within the project - .idea folder and *.ipr and *.iml files, you can delete them to be sure and reimport the project.

Sometimes Main Menu | File | Invalidate caches might help.
